Q274. What is the purpose of “Trace” in Reporting Workbench?

To schedule recurring reports

To retrieve patient notes from Clarity

To record the performance of a Workbench report and analyze its search process

To backup the report templates to Caboodle

Explanation:

Q275. A SlicerDicer session in a dashboard component, using the Patients data model, shows incomplete data for readmission rates. The session is correctly configured, but the data is not up-to-date. What is the root cause, and how should it be addressed?

The data is not extracted to Caboodle; implement regular ETL processes to update Caboodle.

The session uses real-time Chronicles data; switch to Clarity for historical data.

The component’s security settings restrict data; assign a new Report Group.

The Patients data model is outdated; rebuild the session in Hyperspace.

Q276. What’s the difference between an Action and an Action Pack?

An Action performs one task, while an Action Pack bundles multiple related tasks

An Action opens the Library, while an Action Pack launches Radar

An Action Pack is a report filter

There is no difference

Explanation:

Q277. A SlicerDicer session in a dashboard component, using the Encounters data model, shows incomplete data for patient readmissions despite correct filters and a Ready for Use dashboard. The session is linked to Caboodle, and some users report no data visibility. What is the root cause, and how should it be resolved?

The data is not extracted to Caboodle, and users lack Report Group access; schedule ETL processes and update the dashboard’s Access form.

The session uses real-time Chronicles data, and security points are misconfigured; switch to Caboodle and update user security classes.

The Encounters data model is outdated, and the component’s data source is misaligned; rebuild the session and align the data source.

The session’s filters are incorrect, and the dashboard is not enabled; rebuild the session and enable the dashboard.

Q278. What does “Proxy Mode” allow a user to do?

Run reports on another user’s behalf without login

View dashboards and reports as another user to troubleshoot access

Grant full administrative access to restricted data

Automatically submit batch jobs to Clarity

Explanation:

Q279. A user with appropriate security roles can view a Radar dashboard but cannot post to its collaborative discussion component, despite the dashboard being accessible via the Analytics Catalog. The component is enabled, and other users can post. What should the administrator do to resolve this?

Add the user to the Discussion Authors list in the Component Editor’s Collaborative settings.

Assign a new Action Group to the user’s Hyperspace profile for discussion access.

Enable the “Post to Discussions” security point in the user’s security class.

Update the dashboard’s Access form to include the user’s Report Group for discussions.

Q280. Which of the following can you modify with the Metadata Editor?

The data source of a Radar component

The search criteria of a Reporting Workbench report

The report tags associated with Analytics Catalog content

The components that appear on a dashboard

Explanation:

Q281. A Reporting Workbench report must calculate average length of stay by department using Clarity data. How should this be configured?

Use a Cogito SQL template with an aggregate function in Clarity.

Create a SlicerDicer session with length of stay filters.

Configure a summary target in Chronicles.

Assign a new Action Group for data access.

Q282. Which of the following is an example of an analytical report?

A yearly report showing how many logs each surgeon performed

A daily list of patients needing lab draws in the next 2 hours

A report of vitals that are overdue in the past hour

A user checking for patient allergies before prescribing

Explanation:

Q283. In an advanced SlicerDicer session integrated with Radar, to allow dashboard dates to override the session’s fixed date criterion while keeping other criteria static, what advanced save option?

Select “Use dashboard dates” and disable other parameters

Set date as a parameter in the component editor

Use measures for date overrides

Edit the FDM for date flexibility

Q284. On which screen can you choose to integrate dashboard parameters and dates with your SlicerDicer session?

When saving your session

Creating model

Dashboard editor

Component editor

Q285. A Radar dashboard component, linked to a SlicerDicer session using the Admissions data model, displays outdated patient admission data from Caboodle and lacks drill-down to admission details. Some users report inconsistent threshold indicators and no export capability. How should the analyst resolve these issues?

Increase ETL frequency to update Caboodle, configure a Hyperspace activity link for drill-down, enable User-Specific Threshold Overrides, and add export in Component Settings.

Switch the session to Chronicles for real-time data, rebuild the session, and update security points for thresholds and export.

Assign a new Report Group to align the session, rebuild in Clarity, and configure summary targets for export.

Rebuild the session in Hyperspace, disable drill-down, and update the component’s data source for export.

Q286. True or False: Advanced Radar allows component-level benchmarking against community data if the component is sourced from IDN with GPIN mappings and the dashboard is shared.

True

False

Q287. How can a user determine which templates or reports use a specific PAF record?

View the “Used in Reports” tab on the PAF record

Use the Report Repository

They cannot directly determine this

Look in the Analytics Catalog

**Case Scenario: Understanding and Navigating Chronicles Data Structures in Epic**

Q288. A Cogito analyst configures a Radar dashboard component to display emergency department wait times, sourced from a SlicerDicer session. The component must allow authorized users to drill down to patient encounters and restrict access to ED managers. Which configuration ensures these requirements are met?

Link the component to a Hyperspace activity, set the data source to Dashboard Resources, and assign a Report Group for ED managers.

Enable drill-down in SlicerDicer, configure security points in Hyperspace, and disable user personalization.

Add the component to the Analytics Catalog, use Clarity as the data source, and restrict access via Chronicles.

Create a new SlicerDicer session, enable ad hoc searches, and assign Action Groups to managers.

Q289. A Cogito SQL report, sourced from Clarity, groups ED visits by triage level and calculates multiple metrics (e.
g., average wait time, patient volume), with a trace log. The report must be restricted to ED managers, support Epic benchmarking export, and allow dynamic filtering by shift. Which configuration is correct?

Use Clarity, group via the Display tab, enable trace logging, assign a Report Group for ED managers, configure benchmarking export, and add a shift-based filter in Report Settings.

Build in Chronicles, configure summary targets, disable ad hoc searches, set security points, and enable benchmarking in SlicerDicer.

Create in SlicerDicer, add triage level slices, enable trace logging, restrict via Action Groups, and add shift-based filters.

Use Caboodle, assign user roles in Hyperspace, configure Threshold Overrides, and enable benchmarking in Clarity.
